A St. Mary’s business started as a way to help people with various abilities thrive.  But it has grown into so much more.  Capabilities held an open house Saturday to showcase their new corporate headquarters.   25 years ago, they started by helping people with disabilities find jobs, learn jobs, and keep jobs.  They expanded into drivers training, and adult day services.  Now they are offing computer training and job coaching for individuals to help them succeed in what they want to do. 

Judi Martin of Capabilities in St. Marys was recognized for her work with local people with disabilities from the Ohio Provider Resource Association. Martin got the first-ever "Gary LeVox Job Coach Award", named after the singer for Rascal Flatts, who has worked with disabled people before his rise to fame as a country music star.  Martin was recognized for her work in helping her clients become independent.
